Ibex and friend

Ellie — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 17:37:43 +0000

I made this design with black indian ink, on my residency in Andalucia in September..and I printed it up onto linen recently in the studio in London..it’s inspired by local wildlife and some other suspicious oddities which I came across there..

‘Bird Jig’ textiles print

Ellie — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 09:50:28 +0000

It’s me birthday! Ok.
Here’s a new print that I’ve named Bird Jig, because the bird things are a-jigging. When I started drawing the figures, they were standing quite still, but then someone in my studio started playing some music, something between 1970′s folk and with a twist of medieval, and my figures started jigging in a medieval fashion and wearing pantaloons from the middle ages etc.

The prints are on linen, an oatmeal and a scarlett. I’m planning to also make calico cushion covers from these prints..I’ll add those when I’ve made some up to put on my Etsy shop, hopefully within a month..

‘Double animal’ print

Ellie — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:17:01 +0000

This is a trial screenprint, navy blue onto calico cotton, so the images here are roughs, in particular the larger repeat here. The idea is similar to my ‘Alfredo y Alberto’ print in the ‘Screenprints on paper’ catagory, two very differnt bodies joined up to each other, and so they’re all a bit confused.

Birlundula fabric

Ellie — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 19:29:04 +0000

More on my Birlundula series..an island full of birds and big mammals, battling out their territory. They often masquerade as one another to trick one another, sometimes grusomely wearing the head’s they’ve won in battle. I got that idea from looking at the shrunken heads in the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford. These were used as trophies and worn around the necks of the victorious!
